£1,295.00

A wonderful three part copper Holophane ceiling pendant with chain and ceiling rose, American circa 1930.
The pendant consists of two sections of prismatic glass held together by four original Holophane clips; the smaller separate Holophane dish sitting to the underneath of the pendant. A bronze embossed "red spot" hanger with verdigris fits to the ceiling.
The pendant has an extra layer of history to it as it contains evidence of its provenance stamped 'Wakefield Red Spot Vermilion, O'. The F. W. Wakefield Brass Company were lighting specialists manufactured in Vermilion, Ohio. The company was founded by Frederick W. Wakefield in 1910 and became a prominent manufacturer of lighting fixtures. The "Red Spot" name was a brand of product associated with their lighting products, as evidenced by a 1936 trade catalog titled "Wakefield red spot lighting specialties".
Rewired in dark brown braided flex and PAT tested.
Height 26cm, Width 26cm, Depth 26cm.

Holophane Originally founded in 1893 the hallmark of Holophane luminaires was the borosilicate glass reflector, which acted as a prism providing a combination of uplight and downlight, to illuminate any environment evenly without creating dark spots or glare. As a result Holophane lights were frequently used in churches, as street-lights and to illuminate older factories and industrial spaces.

All items on the John Zoffa website are vintage antique pieces and by their very nature, imperfect. When you purchase a piece from us, you are buying something with character and more often than not years of use. Before making your purchase please have an understanding that the pieces you are buying have had a life and ownership before your acquaintance. Therefore there will be elements of wear & tear or even damage that we believe add a quality, aesthetic and sheer presence that just can’t be replicated or indeed replaced. We always invite you to view the item or alternatively ask any questions you may have before making the purchase.

Refunds will only be granted when an item has a significant misdescription or an area of damage, not noted by us, which is more than just natural ageing. Returns must be made within 7 days of receipt of goods and received by us in the same condition as it left our premises. The cost of return is not refundable and we strongly advise you look into the necessary insurance in order to avoid the chance of damage whilst under the responsibility of your chosen courier.

In the event your item is damaged during shipping and after leaving our premises we ask that you notify us immediately with photographs of the packaging, and of the item itself. The shipping company is ultimately responsible to reimburse you for any damage that occurs during delivery and we will work alongside you in order to resolve this should it occur.
